Resumo: This article deals with the dilemma faced by physical education student-bodybuilders who are dedicated to learning on their own about the uses of anabolic steroids for non-therapeutic purposes. The concept of the ethical-sanitary dilemma is developed from the articulation between Nikolas Rose's concept of expertise and Deborah Lupton's concept of risk. Episodic interviews with six undergraduate students of Physical Education from a Brazilian university were applied in this study as the principal method. As a result, we identified two profiles of student-bodybuilders: one composed of those who joined the program in order to learn how to use anabolic steroids, and another one composed of those who presumed to know about the uses and whose purpose was to earn an undergraduate diploma. We conclude that the ethical-sanitary dilemma observed in both profiles should be addressed in the Physical Education undergraduate courses since the “curricular silence” on the process of muscular hypertrophy via steroid anabolics, associated with the clandestine atmosphere, may add more misinformation and even more risks to the target audience of this study.

A noção de dilema ético-sanitário é desenvolvida a partir da articulação entre os conceitos de expertise, de Nikolas Rose, e o de risco em saúde, de Deborah Lupton. Entrevistas episódicas com seis alunos da graduação dos cursos de licenciatura e bacharelado em Educação Física de uma universidade brasileira foi a opção metodológica adotada. Como resultado, identificamos dois perfis de estudantes praticantes de fisiculturismo: um composto pelos que ingressaram no curso com o objetivo de aprender a usar anabolizantes; e outro que julgava já saber sobre e tinha por objetivo buscar uma certificação profissional universitária. Concluímos que o dilema ético-sanitário observado em ambos os perfis deveria ser tratado em aula nos cursos de graduação em Educação Física, pois o “silêncio curricular” sobre o processo de hipertrofia muscular pela via medicamentosa, associado à atmosfera de clandestinidade, pode favorecer a circulação de mais desinformação e ainda mais riscos ao público alvo deste estudo.Department of Physical Education - State University of Maringá (UEM), Maringá-PR, Brazil2020-08-19info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.uem.br/ojs/index.php/RevEducFis/article/view/4717410.4025/jphyseduc.v31i1.3166Journal of Physical Education; Vol 31 No 1 (2020); e-3166Journal of Physical Education; Vol. 31 Núm. 1 (2020); e-3166Journal of Physical Education; v. 31 n. 1 (2020); e-31662448-2455reponame:Journal of Physical Education (Maringá)instname:Universidade Estadual de Maringá (UEM)instacron:UEMporhttps://periodicos.uem.br/ojs/index.php/RevEducFis/article/view/47174/751375150555Copyright (c) 2020 Journal of Physical Educationhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessMachado, Eduardo PintoFraga, Alex Branco2021-05-18T18:53:51Zoai:periodicos.uem.br/ojs:article/47174Revistahttp://periodicos.uem.br/ojs/index.php/RevEducFis/indexPUBhttps://old.scielo.br/oai/scielo-oai.php||revdef@uem.br2448-24552448-2455opendoar:2021-05-18T18:53:51Journal of Physical Education (Maringá) - Universidade Estadual de Maringá (UEM)false
